+            This repository doesn't contain a CODEOWNERS file. Please add one at one of the following paths:
+            1. `CODEOWNERS` (root of repository)
+            2. `.github/CODEOWNERS`
+
+            If this repository is owned/used by a single team the default entry for a CODEOWNERS would be:

+            ```
+            * @smartcontractkit/<your team>
+            ```
